For Honor - Ganking Techniques - Basics and Full Ganks 

"ganking techniques"? you mean there's more to ganking than just throwing heavies and unblockables as mindlessly as possible at one person until they're dead, & then emote spamming and/or saying "thanks! good fight!" while they're getting executed? I must be playing a different game.

this video is so needed its a meme that ganking needs no skill but you still need knowledge to gank the when and how especially

20 damage toestab ganks with no revenge gain. Now THIS is where flailing angrily with no skill will make you win the fight.

Be me, an above average FH player appreciating the informative video. Actual big brain gamer response: "wOW WhY ArE YOu sUpPoRTiNg tHE GaNk MEtA?"

When ganked prolong time that your teammates do something useful. Me, prodly: I managed to stall 3 competent enemies despite their tricks enemies for two minutes,my allies sure control map now. My teammates: trying to gank one guy for 2 minutes spamming heavies and then all proceed to die.

Honestly the thing that annoys me is still that bashes can give heavy attacks. IMO a bash should only grant a little bit more damage than what is already guarantees. It's not really fair that a 600ms, high tracking toestab should guarantee a 50 damage unblockable, especially since it's possible to be put into situations where you *will* take high damage whether you want it or not.

Great video, those creative ones towards the end were really cool if difficult coordination-wise to pull off. Kind of wish throughout the video we had more POVs of the gankee rather than the ganker(s) to have a better idea of which gank techniques fed the least revenge. As a follow-up to this video I think a good topic would be how to deal with a situation when the gank ends up triggering revenge for the enemy, in what situations should you stall for revenge to run out (and how to do so), and in what situations should you "attack" an opponent with revenge. I just noticed while typing this out the description: "This was quite a bit of work", so I feel bad now for asking so much of you. Either way, thanks a lot to you and everyone involved in the making of the videos, be it testers or "actors".

Another very good gank is when you have a shinobi, gb to guarentee lr heavy then gb again to guarentee sickle rain which in turn gives your team a heavy

When playing shaman i really hate ganking, because not one single time have i NOT been interrupted by a teammate when i was biting someone

Bruh that glad gank at the end was... scary.

Next up, team fight basics? (external attacks, target switching, minion locked attacks and so on)

Are the rules for dmg reduction different if you gank with Aramusha? With him my target often gets reduction, while with other characters thats not to be the case.

Hit stun has irked me for awhile. You say it wears off after two hits but I swear I've eaten upwards of 4 heavys from it. I think high damage reduction should kick in after the first hit because it gets to be a massive amounts of gaurenteed damage you eat just from that slight window. Glad the discussion has moved in this direction !

11:52 Shaman tries to reapply bleed after bite lmao

When you said "Pop a Coke and keep Shadowplay on" I spilled my Pepsi Max. Frederick, Cmon, don't give out bad advise.

I just realized that the devs removed the old emote lines anybody know when and why?

Oh baby another video from the man himself keep it up

so basically, if the gankers actually know what they are doing, u stand 0 chance of surviving

Jesus that glad gank at the end is nasty, but couldn't you use one of the toestabs at the end for a heavy? That would've killed the LB but idk if you can't cause wack recoveries and such

I feel the only thing that one can do to anti gank is just be aware of where your opponents are and try to push all opponents away from yourself. With most of the techniques shown in the video the opponents are very close hence why keep them occupied by gaining distance aka bashes and quickly switching targets to light and distract opponents from seeing the opportunities in the video. But other than that there are unwinnable situations in almost any gank from more opponents showing up to good set ups by your opponents.

Altough this gank probably gets removed with his rework, here is Cent gank : Cent charged heavy cannot be confirmed from cgbs (at least as far as I know, feel free to correct me), but in can be confirmed from a non countered gb combined with the hitstun of the heavy punish. A fully charged jab can also be confirmed with a block/parry stun.

always helpful both for rookies and veterans

This is the bible of 4v4s.

Thought the title said f***ing techniques and I saw shaman like “wtf ngga”

Finally, the video I’ve needed

Imagine needing a video to win a 4v1

Bru that hole beginning section people where properly dodging and they still got tracked and hit How and why???

13:51 My friends and I did that but with a third and he was hitokiri and did the unblockable while our Jorm was slamming when the enemy was being flipped by BP (me) and our hito got the execution

"I did not include any Centurion stuff, because that will be irrelevant in a few weeks (hopefully)" It better be.... its an absolute disgrace! Cent got nerfed in Q3 2017, its 20 fucking 20 now.....

People still fuck up the easiest gank in the world. Guardbreaking an opponent while the hitokiri uses her tier 4 feat.

Here's a simple rule; if you encounter a 1v1 and your teammate is winning, don't spam attacks and feed revenge to your oponent, he'll get revenge and then kill you both. Try to distract him, faint some heavies, don´t attack unless your sure you'll hit him and avoid bashes, they feed tons of revenge. And DON'T interrupt your teammate's punishes, that means you people who atack during shaman's bite.

Imagine 1 centurion and 3 jorms Almost everyone in the for honor community : **Screams**

If I'd get hit with that at 13:51 id probably brake something.

Der Gank mit BP und Jormun haut an so richtig die Prügel raus.

The one on 13:53 made me scream.

Toestab gank here

hEh iMagInE tHiNkiNg GaNKiNg tAkEs SKilL

Seems that a lot of people don’t know about all this stuff, no wonder most people just spam attacks and give revenge only to get themselves killed and spam Wow

This title hurts my head. I will never understand ganking. I do it but I hate it. I make up excuses but I know that deep down I should just not do it. It’s simply unfair. You don’t learn to get better.

Pls for the love of God stop using bp as the punching bag,he is literally the only hero in the game that can counter most set-ups yet you still show him,some people might miss the point and understand that not even bp can counter this while the opposite is happening

It’s worth noting that someone can build revenge as long as there is two people locked onto them. I’ve found by locking off and back on between attacks or simply running around unlocked I’ve distracted the opponent enough to get killed and prevent them from getting revenge. I’ve found this good for turtles who are just waiting for revenge.

Cheesy tactics

Ah yes, instead of encouraging people to fight alone and get better, show them ways on how to be a coward and hide behind the strength of others

Just came to downvote

Please don't give them a video like this

As a Centurion main its pretty simple 1. Wait until enemy is in undefendable frames 2. Pin opponent 3. *Censored* 4. Enemy deleted

Bold of Freeze to assume people would follow ganking tutorials when they still consistantly hit you out of Shaman bite

*faraam screaming in corner*

The gank at 13:51 was intoxicating

Haha joke's on you, my team doesn't need a guide on how to gank, all they do are honorabru duels at A

Glads toestab giving literally no revenge is so stupid

Freeze I can feel your frustration with matchmaking fueling your intent behind this video lmao

*hits enemy twice with blocked lights* REVENGE *blocks every attack, parries 2 unblockables and takes a cent kick* revenge where you at?

Don’t forget to bow at the start of the gank, to keep it honorable smile

That Jorm and BP at the end, were like the Avengers. 13:51

To the people complaining about this setup ganking being "unfair" or "toxic", just understand that there is plenty of counterplay to most of these ganks that is just as interactive and makes up a large amount of the depth and enjoyability of 4v4. In fact the more "beloved" heroes are the ones that have mindless ganks that chain from punishing whiffs into 100+ damage combos, such as shinobi and centurion. Revenge itself as a mechanic is primarily a stalling tool because your opponents usually have the ability to weezel away before you can finish them off, anti-ganking is an inconsistency, while admitably not being as thrilling as coming out on top in an out numbers situation, stalling is not an inconsistency such as anti-ganking.

Nice, I've encountered the shaolin gank once (out of 90 reps) and didn't know what to do, but was amazed. Now at least I know how to "counter" it.

Freeze: “Don’t end up a fool in some random anti-gank montage throwing non-stop top heavies” Everyone in the playerbase: “goNE tOp hEaVy”

O cara que fez a legenda em pt-br: valeu.

As much as this info is necessary and helpful, my opponents now have this as well. Just tryin' to make my life harder huh Freeze? Lol

Very informative. This also shows a lot of issues with the game. I've never seen a more broken game I can't stop coming back to.

Every single for honor player needs to watch this

Freeze, you're the best

Nice vid. Can you make a vid on how to anti gank? Not necessarily on how we win every anti gank but how to stall as much time as possible.

Damn didnt know i Main a good ganking hero 😅 32 reps on warlord and still something to learn... Thanks freeze

I think a good adage for people not confident in their ability, if you aren’t being targeted, filling the gankie’s hit indicator with feinted heavies (preferably unblockables) is a great way to confuse them especially if they always go for the parry.

One of my favorite things to do as Nobushi is setting up a Shaman for a bite. It's very satisfying.

me and my girlfriend worked together to crreate our own ultimate shinobi gank. lets just say it involves a lot of roling and we haven't seen anyone who could counter it :) (a bit sad that she doesn't play this game as much as she did)

So what you're saying is that ganking requires teammates and coordination? lmao Welp looks like I'll just be sitting out then because all my friends hate For Honor and it seems I get the dumbest randoms.

Permission to marry your channel?

Its just stupid people use ganking as a technique or playstyle

The amount of times a teammate has cancelled my cutscene makes wish I could cutscene them instead

This is such a much needed video, thx papa Freeze! I hope this will results in more proper ganks in random mms.

How to win a gank. 3 words Nobushi With Shaman.

Great! Now I only need Friends who play For Honor with me...

im sorry wheres the anti gank video? thats whats needed lol

Simple on how to counter this. Alt+F4

its true what ppl are saying here. this game has been out for 3+ years, and if you haven't realised by now that the optimal way to play dominion is to make a fight club at an objective and fish for light parries so ppl think you're good at the game... idk what to tell you.

noob need friend to win a duel in a 4v4 mode lolmao

What is ganking I’m rep 50 and don’t know what this is sum1 explain

3:33 bruh that F bomb got me good

Fun fact. If you hold (Y) (Xbox revenge) but don't let it go you can still activate it while in hit stun if you let it go after being struck.

I feel like I know how to gank pretty well. I mean I did it back when the whole "honor code" Was being shoved down anyones throat how didn't follow it to fuckin heart lol

The thing is you can’t really do this when playing with Randoms 😭

Delete this video sir

And i hate name ganking, because gank means go around and kill and that doesn't mean anything in for honor.

Thanks for making the game toxic by showing how to make opponent to not counter

Fuck shinobi fuck shinobi fuck shinobi (Jk I'll go delete my for honor now)

I knew Gladiators toe stab was unfair. Maybe that's why he's my highest at rep 18 😂 😂

What we need is a way to get out there to the public to not interrupt my fucking punishes

My first experience in a gank was against 2 Lawbringers where they impaled me 24/7 :( They dragged me literally through the whole map and I couldn't do shit because of that "hitstun"

How to counter 4 man gank? R U N A W A Y

Like if you learned most of these tips just by being a vet player.

A tutorial on one of the worst things about this game... cool

Yeah but even when your ganking that BP and getting the double heavies he still ends up getting revenge... there's plenty of times I'll get ganked by only two players and I'll get NO revenge even after deflecting and getting a parry or two... It doesn't make any sense. I truly think revenge is altered by which hero you play as and your overall reputation.

Thanks for ruining the game

best anti gank tool is toestab XD

I see that you use black prior as your dummy in this video a lot. I need to point out that he is the only exception to the block stun rule. Do not try this stuff against a Prior. They don't get block stunned. They can flow directly into Bulwark stance and do a Bulwark counter immediately after blocking any attack.

here’s how i do it “INCREDIBILIS”

But it's bad to gank right?
